Kinda surprised Canada hasn't followed France's lead, and invited all the worthwhile people like scientists to apply - they'd become more important and useful than the USA rather quickly.

Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Cool. I just hope they can get everyone in ASAP!
A few in Ireland too. They're getting the applications denied though :(
Awe I had no idea that they had refugee applications. I was looking at normal citizenship and they extended the time for Americans specifically.
I sympathize with people wanting and trying to leave. Personally, I’m tired. I’ve been fighting these republicans for over a decade. I even spent a weekend in jail for trying to fight for other people’s rights. There is a bigger issue in the US that most people on Lemmy seem to ignore. Let’s say we get all the fascista out of government. Let’s say we push them out and get control and bring back democracy in the US.
If this happens, our problems won’t be fixed. The core issue of the US is the people who have been fed propaganda for decades. The racism, the fear, the hate, all runs deep into the core of their personalities now. And there is nothing I can think of that can change this. Maybe after decades when they all die off and hopefully our kids learn from their mistakes that we might be able to see change. But I don’t see it happening in the next decade. The country is screwed.
So staying and fighting will do fuck all to fix this country. I sympathize with people who have the means and money who are trying to leave. If I wasn’t struggling to make ends meet I’m sure I’d try and do the same.
